UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY Open the top flaps of the smaller high frequency carton marked “Open This End” and remove the packing pad. Lift the high frequency cabinet out of the carton and set it on top of the low frequency cabinet. Align the three rubber bumpers on the top of the low frequency cabinet with the three recesses on the underside of the high frequency cabinet. Thread the high and mid frequency driver leads in the upper cabinet through the hole in the cabinet’s lower panel.
Figure 2 • All: Angle speakers toward the listener and even with or forward of any adjacent obstructions. • La Scala, Cornwall, Heresy: Placing them near a corner or wall provides the greatest amount of bass while moving the speakers away from room boundaries reduces bass energy. • All: Asymmetrical placement of a pair of speakers from adjacent side walls can smooth room-induced bass unevenness.
FORTE III The Forte III has excellent bass extension and therefore offers a good degree of toe-in and placement options. However, the Forte features a rear-firing 15” passive radiator that requires the loudspeaker to be placed at least 1” away from the back wall. For optimal low-bass performance, it is recommended the loudspeaker be placed within 2 to 10 inches of the back wall. This will provide the best low bass loading and enhance the low frequency extension of the loudspeaker.
